Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2346-2367, September 2026.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Toward Autonomous Clinics: Human–Robot Collaboration in Clinical Care

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the conceptual structure of human–robot collaboration (HRC) for autonomous clinical systems. The framework is organized around a dual‐brain architecture in which a professional brain supports clinical reasoning tasks such as diagnosis, image analysis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring, while a physical brain ...

Mechatronic Design of a Lower Limb Exoskeleton

, 2017
Ce chapitre présente une conception mécatronique de l'exosquelette des membres inférieurs. La conception vise à être utilisée comme un dispositif de soutien à la marche axé sur les patients qui souffrent d'une paralysie partielle du bas du corps due à des blessures à la colonne vertébrale ou causée par un accident vasculaire cérébral.
